running a wrx without intercooler to not attract police

i have a 2008 wrx hatch and i am on a probationary licence which makes that car technically illegal for me to drive, i was thinking that i could perhaps remove the intercooler and replace the hood with a non scoop variant so that my car looks less suspicious to victoria police, until i am on full licence (4 years away) does anyone have any thoughts on this matter? and is there any major downside to not running an intercooler apart from the obvious power/efficiency losses?

i dont race or drive stupid but im more of a sound guy ive got a 7k
sound system custom boot etc... but i just want to take precautions
to lower the chance of attracting attention and getting pulled over
cause then id probs get screwed and lose licence for driving a car
with forced induction

the scoop screams "this car is turbo" and i can either replace it with
a stealthy frontmount that isnt too visible or just remove intercooler
and lower boost to keep engine temps down, just wanted to get
some thoughts and see what people think.
